LaunchPad Development Boards

LaunchPads are low-cost microcontroller development kits from Texas Instruments with a variety of types to address various project needs. All LaunchPad kits include everything you need to begin developing applications in minutes, and there are several BoosterPack plug-in modules to quickly extend functionality like capacitive sensing, energy harvesting, temperature sensing, wireless communication, and much more. The LaunchPad and BoosterPack plug-in modules, open source tools, and various forums form a community around creating embedded designs with the LaunchPad. The LaunchPad ecosystem is also supported by a growing ecosystem of third party and community-driven software tools, including open source software.

Texas Instruments MSP430 LaunchPad

The Texas Instruments MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad experimenter board is a complete USB-based development and experimenter tool providing everything you need to launch your own MSP430 Value Line applications. The TI MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad includes an integrated DIP target socket that supports up to 20 pins, allowing MSP430 Value Line devices to be dropped into the LaunchPad board. An on-board flash emulation tool allows direct interface to a PC for easy programming, debugging, and evaluation. Included are free and downloadable software development environments for writing and debugging software. The TI LaunchPad can be used to create interactive solutions thanks to its on-board push buttons, LEDs, and extra input/output pins for easy integration of external devices.

Texas Instruments MSP430 USB LaunchPad

Texas Instruments MSP430 USB LaunchPad Evaluation Kit is an easy-to-use Evaluation Module based on the MSP430F5529 microcontroller. It contains everything needed to start developing on a USB enabled MSP430 MCU, including on-board emulation for programming and debugging as well as on-board buttons and LEDs for quick integration of a simple user interface. This LaunchPad is great for general purpose applications due to its 25MHz, integrated Full-Speed USB 2.0 and analog/digital integration; battery-operated applications thanks to it's low-power capabilities; and is great for beginners and experienced developers alike thanks to it's multiple points of entry into software development. Rapid prototyping is a snap thanks to 40-pin BoosterPack headers and a wide range of BoosterPack plug-in modules enabling technologies such as wireless, display drivers, temperature sensing and much more.
